2024 Waste to Art Competition Exhibition
Entries are now open for the 2024 Waste to Art Competition/Exhibition (now in its 7th year). This competition aims to challenge our perception of waste.
This year will feature a new 'outdoor category', allowing for larger, more ambitious artworks that expand beyond the traditional gallery space.
The prize pool has increased to $5,000, thanks to our generous sponsors—Hyne Timber, Cleanaway, Reuse and Recycle Group, and Nugrow!
Entry is free and open to all ages!
KEY DATES
- Entries open: 5 June, 2024 (World Environment Day)
- Entries close: 18 October, 2024
